Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth who lived the grandest life that ever has been lived yet - a life that every thinking man, with deeper or shallower meaning, has agreed to call divine.
The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.
A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.
Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.
The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions, but to kindle minds.
The humblest occupation has in it materials of discipline for the highest heaven.
